WASHINGTON — The United States was said to have planned to destabilize at least two Arab countries over the last two years.

A former leading U.S. military commander asserted that the administration of President Barack Obama worked to destabilize the regimes of Bahrain and Egypt.

Ret.] Gen. Hugh Shelton, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the administration’s drive against Bahrain, wracked by a Shi’ite revolt, was led by the intelligence community.

It does not matter how long we have been out. I have been retired for over 20 years. I can be called back by the Pentagon and Army at any time they feel they need me. Say the nation actually went to another world war. I could be called back to fill a job state side, in a legal office here and that frees a younger soldier to go overseas. I was initially in the infantry, but was wounded in Vietnam and as a result of the injuries, the Army reclassified my primary MOS (military occupational specialty or my job title, I.E. Infantry, medic, engineer, etc.)and I was made a legal specialist, working in Army Judge Advocate General’s Corp offices (JAG offices), and mainly worked on courts-martial. I would be made to do that stateside as a 60+ year old and the young folks go overseas. Officers can be recalled at any time also. We can, if the government wanted too, recall any retiree and court-martial us if they feel we have done something that warrants it, I.E. treason, etc. or even in Obama’s case, we spoke out against him).

"By chance" I did check other sources. None were Fox News. That's not that unusual though - the interview could have been for an upcoming broadcast or even too explosive for Fox. It wouldn't be the first time a news story surrounding O was spiked. Do you think we didn't destabilize Egypt? The only real news here, is that the same was attempted in Bahrain and this is the highest level (former Joint Chiefs Chairman) leader with inside information to admit it.

The story is both going viral and being squashed. I suggest waiting to see if Sheldon denies this statement. But feel free to ask the mods to remove the post if you feel so inclined.

Then maybe you know more than you're letting on?

Please don't tell me that WARRIORS are afraid to say something against Obama for fear of REPRISAL???

Sorry, but that sounds weak, with all due respect......the Founding Fathers could have been HUNG, but they spoke out fiercely. Our ACTIVE Military needs ALL of US speaking the truth about what is going on!!

I am simply telling you what can happen. He can be recalled and can be disciplined if they desired to do it. I have seen people recalled before and disciplined.

Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.

[by “anti-government activists” is meant church-burning jihadists]
